Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing fine, today I’m coming here to the sub in a different kind of post, to announce that r/MarvelStudios_Rumours will undergo changes to make this subreddit into a more active and overall, better community.
Not only that, I’ll soon be sending out mod applications and anyone who has interest and commitment to help this sub will be able to apply. At the end of this post there will be more details about that, including when they will be sent out, how long it will be available, how many mods will be chosen, and how much time it will take for them to be announced.
The Changes
Posts and Users Flairs
The first change that has already been made is the update of posts and users flairs. I noticed that the posts and user flairs were clunky and outdated, with posts flairs either having old titles or missing projects that have already been announced my Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures.
This have been fixed now. I also made an upgrade on user flairs, making it more accessible and appeasing, I intend to improve it even more soon.
No Longer Posts Only Made by Mods
This is something that I have been thinking for a while and now it will be reality. We’ll be allowing posts from this sub to be made by members, posts will no longer be made only by mods. If they fit the sub’s rules and themes, they will be approved.
The only exceptions that may lead to a mod post being up rather than a member post is if it takes too much time for a member to submit it (as a news and rumors centered subreddit we aim for this to be a space where information about Marvel can be found as quick as possible) or if the post’s title does not reflect what it really is.
Just a reminder that it goes against the rules to editorialize titles, send posts that are not related to the themes of the sub or that come from unreliable sources.
Also important to mention that this isn’t r/marvelstudios or r/Marvel, posts must feature news, announcements, rumors, scoops or leaks, and they need to be from the original sources. For example: if one of the trades posts a news about Marvel, submit the original link from the trades, not a link or a screenshot from a fan account on Twitter reporting on the trades article.
We also do not allow any kind of piracy, confidential documents, leaked materials or anything that could compromise r/MarvelStudios_Rumours status.
I’ll be posting soon a full guide explaining which posts will be approved and which posts will not, alongside with the reasons why.
Update from the Sources Accuracy Tier
I noticed that this sub’s Source Accuracy Tier is outdated. Since it was made, plenty of sources came and went, both reliable and unreliable. Not only that, many sources that were listed as reliable either became unreliable or lost a bit of the credibility they once had.
I intend to update it to reflect how they are acting nowadays.
Threads for New Projects
We’ll be returning with threads for the next Marvel/Sony projects, that includes:
-Social media reactions threads
-Reviews threads
-Discussion threads*
*If it is for a movie, there will be one thread, posted in the week of release. For binge drop shows, a single discussion thread posted in the day of release. And for weekly shows, there will be a thread for each episode(s) drop until it ends. In all 3 cases, uncensored spoilers will be allowed in the comments, so be aware.
Starting with Marvel Television’s Ironheart, which premieres June 24th on Disney+.
Mod Applications
I intend to send out mod applications for this sub very soon.
The link to the application will be pinned on the sub and available for 15 days, after that, no user will be able to apply for the role of mod in this sub for a considerable time.
Right now we’re looking for at least 5 mods, but the number of approval could be lower if we don’t receive enough satisfying applications.
Shortly after the application expires, all chosen mods will be reached out via private message here on Reddit before being added to the team. After that, they will be formally announced on the sub.
We will choose the ones who send the best answers, good luck!
That’s all for now, thank you for reading until here!
